The Cost of Convenience and the Politics of Blame

from TMI · host The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

In this episode of TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne take on health myths, political misinformation, and the systems quietly harming Black communities. From questioning the safety of our food and water to unpacking the false narrative that immigrants are “taking Black jobs,” the conversation cuts through fear-based rhetoric with facts, history, and lived experience. The hosts break down how white supremacy, anti-DEI policies, and economic exploitation—not immigrants—are driving job loss and instability, especially for Black women. They also discuss ICE raids, media manipulation, and the urgent need for truth-tellers in a time of rising authoritarianism.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
